Memoirs of a Spacewoman by Naomi Mitchison

4.0

Exceedingly imaginative, sensitive and readable science fiction. As is often said of Naomi Mitchison, she brings here key aspects that the genre usually lacks : emotional intelligence and depth of character, therefore opening up a whole a new dimension in which to invent evolutions and changes in space travelling humans and their newfound galactical neighbours. Only downside would be a sometimes dated approach to masculinity and femininity as well as other gender role stereotypes (although sometimes clearly - and clumsily - inverted for effect). Loved it.
